Lock a Little Tighter Through Sneaker Eyelets

At times we’d get annoyed by those extra holes in our sneakers sitting there for no apparent reason. Why are they even there if we’re not going to loop the shoelaces through them? Our feet would probably choke if we did, or that’s what we thought until we knew otherwise.

It seems the pair of eyelets at the top are there to enable running enthusiasts to fasten the laces tighter using the ‘heel lock’ method. Next time you wear them for a run, loop the strings through the holes placed high on your shoes! It ensures they enjoy a firmer grip of the sneakers on their feet, helping them race faster.
